“It just took so much to let people know that I was struggling with my mental health and as a male, it's a very hard thing to do, let alone on national television,” Brent revealed. “But I left, saw a therapist, and rebuilt my footings.”
During his time on MasterChef Australia, Zonfrillo was often seen wearing a set of rosary beads around his wrist, which he said served as a reminder of his journey in recovery.
